Forfeit

Spike's known vamps who kept pets.  Angelus did, once -- a tow-headed virgin, snatched straight from the seminary.  Mooned over him, to Darla's disgust, until Dru snapped his neck in a fit of jealous temper.

 

A weakness, keeping humans.  Anyway, it never lasted.  Demon's nature, always wanting more.  So the humans wound up drained and dead, or worse, turned and tossed away, because afterward, they weren't the same.  Not what was wanted, but merely what was left.  Nobody needed that sort of dirty reminder hanging about. 

 

Just one last look at his sleeping boy.

 

Spike's gone before Xander wakes up.

I do hope this grows, but even so, it is very very good just as it is.

Thank you! And I've started writing something around this idea. We'll see where it goes!
